Wow – permit me a moment of geekiness. I posted over at TUMW about a video discussing the origins of the now ubiquitous CTRL-ALT-DEL key combination that every PC user knows. I happened to mention in the post that I recognized Dan Bricklin on the panel, and asked readers to comment if they recognized others. Now, Dan Bricklin is famous for actually inventing the spreadsheet – his product, called Visicalc, was the precursor to Lotus 123, then of course Excel.

Well, Mr. Bricklin actually commented on my post, with a link to a bunch more information about the event where the video was taken, as well as pictures he took there. Cool!

Please note: I've moved my active blogging over to a new site, called Jason Clarke - Infinite Bass Line. I will leave this site up indefinitely, but if you're interested in my latest posts please consider visiting the new site.
